You must use the ML one if you have Jester ML!

The Jester series was a sturdy little desk - the most common failures were the internal battery, faders, LCD panels and the external PSU. I have faders in stock and a compatible PSU - the only thing I don't have in stock in quantity are the LCD panels. The proviso though is I'm in the UK so getting spares to you might be an issue, there might well be a dealer in Italy who has some spares stock too. Support for the desk is still fab - the only issue you'll likely have is if you use 'complex' fixtures that have more than 40 DMX channels in the future - there's only one DMX universe but for a simple desk and simple LED's - can't beat the Jester if you can't afford an FLX or FLX S

Hi @SanCarlino Welcome to the forum. Jester consoles were discontinued back in 2017, and stocks of spare PCBs have now run out. So we can support from the user/software side, but cannot guarantee that the console can be repaired if something goes wrong. I would recommend working through the Jester ML Training Playlist here... Yes - the latest fixture library for Jester ML consoles is v41, and is available to download from the Jester webpage... https://www.vari-lite.com/global/products/jester-series If you need to control a fixture that is missing from the library, you can create a fixture file to load into the console using "Zero 88 Fixture Tools". This application can be downloaded here... https://vari-lite.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/software-firmware/Zero-88-Fixture-Tools-2.6.zip JesterOS 4.1 is the final version for Jester ML consoles, and is very stable. "Phantom Jester" is a Windows software package, that allows you to program and edit Jester show files on your PC. These show files can then be transferred to the console via USB. This can be downloaded from the link below... https://www.vari-lite.com/b-dam/vari-lite/discontinued-products/jester/english/phantom-jester-4-1.zip Hope this helps.
